Perennial Garden
Two acres, enclosed by cedar hedges which create a warmer microclimate, are divided into 26 beds, each planted with different combinations of perennials. As
you stroll along each path, you are presented with a different view at every turn. Benches offer welcoming spots to sit and enjoy the heady beauty of this garden,
as varying bloom times of perennials present an ever-changing show throughout the season. The sweep of the day lily bed in full bloom is unforgettable.
hummingbirds abound, especially when the bee balm (monarda) is in bloom in July and August. You might see one of our Garden cats basking in the sun.
Throughout the seasons, from May through October, the Perennial Garden is full of colour; gems of spring like fritillaria, hyacinths and daffodils, followed by
exquisite fernleaf peonies, many types of lilies and hundreds of perennials throughout the summer, giving way to coneflowers (echinacea), false sunflowers (heliopsis
helianthoides), sea holly (eryngium maritimum) and much more in the fall. The many varieties of Japanese maples are magnificent, blazing against thedark green
hedges throughout the garden.
